Hello! :)

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.

Fact: A non-living thing can be very different than a living thing. 

Evidence: Once- living things are made up different things then non-living things. While a rock is a nonliving thing, it doesn't contain the same build as living things. If we were to look at a dead once living being, we could probably conclude that it was a living thing since it contains things like cells, proteins, etc. That other thing, like dirt, wouldn't have.
